Other Connections
AC Input
p
Your Rotel processor is configured at the factory for the proper AC line
voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 120 volts/60Hz
AC or CE: 230 volts/50 Hz AC ). The AC line configuration is noted
on a decal on the back of your unit. Plug the supplied cord into the AC
INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit.
Note:
Memorized settings and video labels are preserved indefinitely,
even if the unit is disconnected from AC power.
Master Power Switch
o
The large rocker switch on the rear panel is a master power switch. When
it is in the OFF position, power to the unit is completely off. When it is in
the ON position, the front panel STANDBY and remote control ON/OFF
buttons can be used to activate the unit or put it into standby mode.
12V TRIGGER Connections
i
Many Rotel amplifiers offer the option of turning them on and off using
a 12 volt trigger. These six connections provide this 12 volt trigger
signal from the processor. When the unit is activated, a 12 volt DC
signal is sent from these jacks to the amplifiers to turn them on. When
the processor is put in STANDBY mode, the trigger signal is interrupted
and the amplifiers turn off.
To use the remote turn on feature, connect one of the RSP-1580’s 12V
TRIG OUT jacks to the 12 volt trigger input of a Rotel amplifier, using a
cable with mono 3.5mm mini-plugs on both ends. The +12 V DC signal
appears at the “tip” connector.
N
ote:
The 12V Trigger outputs are configured to turn on in various
combinations only when specific input sources are activated. See the
INPUT SETUP and MON 2–4 SETUP menus in the Setup section of this
manual for details
REM IN Jacks
u
Four 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled EXT, MON 2, MON 3, and MON 4)
receive command codes from a third-party infrared receiver or Rotel remote
zone keypad, These remote IR inputs are used when the IR signals from a
hand held remote control cannot reach the front panel IR sensor.
EXT:
The EXT jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the
front panel IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a
cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked or when IR signals need to
be relayed to other components.
MON:
The MON 2, 3, or 4 jacks are used with IR repeater systems to
receive signals from IR control systems in remote locations. For example,
remote control signals sent to the MON 2 jack control the MON 2 features
of the RSP-1580 and can be relayed to other components.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers
and the proper wiring of 3.5mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN jacks.
Note:
The IR signals from the REM IN EXT and REM IN MON 2–4
jacks can be relayed to source components using external IR emitters or
hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section
for additional information.
Note:
With a digital input connection, the processor will be used to
decode the signal, rather than the source component’s internal decoders.
You must use digital connections for a DVD player that supplies a Dolby
Digital or DTS signal; otherwise the processor will not be able to decode
these formats.
There are seven digital inputs on the rear panel, three coaxial and four
optical, as well as the HDMI Audio input that is carried by the HDMI
cables along with the digital video signals. These digital inputs can be
assigned to any of the input sources using the INPUT SETUP screen during
the setup process. For example, you can assign the COAXIAL 1 digital
input connector to the VIDEO 1 source and the OPTICAL 2 digital input
to the VIDEO 3 source. By default, the source input buttons are factory
configured to select the following inputs:
CD:
Digital Coaxial 2
Tuner:
Analog
Tape:
Digital Coaxial 3
Video 1:
HDMI Audio (HDMI 1)
Video 2:
HDMI Audio (HDMI 2)
Video 3:
Digital Optical 1
Video 4:
Digital Optical 2
Video 5:
Digital Coaxial 1
Note:
When using digital connections, you may also want to make
the analog audio input connections described previously. The analog
connection is necessary to send an analog Video signal to MON 2, 3
& 4.
Digital Outputs
t
The RSP-1580 has two digital audio outputs (one coaxial and one
optical) to send the digital signal from any of the digital inputs to a digital
recorder or outboard digital processor. When a digital input source
signal is selected for listening, that signal is automatically sent to both
digital outputs for recording.
USB Audio Connection
6
Music storage devices can be accessed by the unit through this input. Music
storage devices such as MP3 players, iPod,iPhone, USB memory sticks or
any other form of memory devices with USB interface can be connected
to the unit through the front USB socket. The unit will automatically search
music fles from the connected storage device.
Note:
When connecting iPod or iPhone to the front USB, the controls
on the iPod/iPhone remain active. Only simple controls such as PLAY,
STOP, SKIP TRACK can be controled by the RSP-1580.
The front USB can also accept a USB Bluetooth dongle (supplied). This
allows you to stream music from your Bluetooth device, i.e. mobile
phone. Insert the USB Bluetooth dongle into the front USB, the display
will show “READY” status. From your device (mobile phone etc..) activate
Bluetooth and allow it to search for other Bluetooth devices and it will find
“Rotel Bluetooth”. Select “Rotel Bluetooth” and it will ask you to enter a
password. Enter “0000” and accept. The RSP-1580 will recognize a
device is attempting to connect to it, and will display this information on
the OSD. Press ENTER on the front panel or SEL key on the remote to
accept. The “READY” status will change to “RUNNING” and you can
start streaming music to the RSP-1580.
Note:
Not all Bluetooth dongles will operate with the unit. Please use
the dongle supplied by Rotel.
